About this tour
Explore Seville's architectural and botanical heart over two hours with a knowledgeable local guide. Start at the Plaza de España, an ornate 1929 structure by Aníbal González built for the Ibero-American Exposition, where hand-painted ceramic tiles celebrate Spain's provinces. Then wander into the adjacent María Luisa Park, a verdant sanctuary gifted to the city in 1893, where tree-lined walkways reveal fountains, sculptures and quiet corners that shaped the expo's gardens.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at the Plaza de España and walks you through its colonnaded galleries, pausing to identify the craftsmanship in each province's tilework and the building's distinctive architectural vocabulary. Expect a leisurely pace as you move into María Luisa Park, where the guide contextualises the landscape choices—its romantic plantings, ornate waterworks and vistas—within the expo's ambitions. You'll cover roughly 3–4 kilometres at a relaxed tempo, with frequent stops to absorb details and snap photographs.
